Welcome to the Annual Albany Classic "Around the Houses"

Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June 2019

There will be another large event in Albany on the June long weekend in 2019. We recommend you book accommodation now at Motel Le Grande, Big 4 Middleton Beach or the Albany Hotel. We will continue to post updates here as we move closer to the event.

In 2018 there will be a Great Southern Arts and Crafts Market in the Town Hall, showcasing some of the best arts and crafts in the Region. For an application form click here to download.

The Albany Classic Motor Event is run through the heart of Albany's CBD, overlooking the ANZAC Peace Park and Princess Royal Harbour. This spectacle of historic motor sport presents a wide variety of cars from vintage wire wheels, post-vintage and classics as well as open wheel racers and big cube muscle cars.
This event is part of the WA Regularity Championship. It is organised locally by the Albany Organising Committee with the Vintage Sports Car Club of WA (VSCCWA).

In 2018 there were more than 150 entrants including a 1926 Salmson GSS with its 1.1 litre engine and a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro of over 5.8 litres. Many of the cars competing were created in the earliest days of Australian motor sport including specials from Miller, Bartlett and Brax. In the other categories you'll see Monaro, Lotus, Mustang, Elfin, Jaguar, Porsche, Bolwell, Simca, Lola and many more.

Albany
first experienced motor racing in 1936 with the 'WA 50 Mile T.T. Car Race'. This was the first round the houses style race in Australia and was run over a 4 mile circuit through the town. The modern layout follows part of the revised 1938 Grand Prix circuit and is 1.5 km in length overlooking the picturesque Princess Royal Harbour.

The Albany Classic is the premier round the houses historic regularity event in Australia
and is one of only two events of its type still going today. The modern event is as much a festival as serious motorsport but now caters for the whole family and a diverse range of motoring interest. Crowds line the city streets to witness the enthralling sight of vintage and classic cars taking part in the annual motor event. This year, cars covering 87 years of motoring development are competing or on display.

Please take time to acknowledge all of the event sponsors and support them whenever you can.

'Buy Local' means we'll all be able to enjoy this event in the years to come.

We would like to recognise and thank the many local businesses, organisations and individuals responsible for the setup/breakdown and operation of the Albany Classic Round-the-Houses and in particular the track setup crews.

They donate their machines and equipment and volunteer their labour to construct the track which includes moving over 500 concrete blocks and safety barriers in and out of the Albany CBD in a day. The event simply would not happen without their assistance and we ask that you consider supporting these businesses during the year.
